Brexit is opportunity not a threat

The day-to-day drama in Brussels and Westminster can obscure the long-term view, which, for real estate, is largely far more positive.

It’s easier to gain that perspective with an international outlook. At the time of the Brexit vote, I was chief executive of BNP Paribas and saw how the decision was greeted across Europe and the world. Some shared the surprise and concern that dominated in the UK; in France, the feeling was largely one of incredulity that the UK was ruining the European dream. For Germany, it was seen as an opportunity to promote Frankfurt as a commercial market, while many Asian buyers and investors saw the decline in sterling as an opportunity.
